Crystal Report help please

Hi, i'm using Crystal Report 8.5 and i'm using unbound fields for the data in the report.
All i want is to know how to use for that report, a Recordset i create myself and not a recordset from a table or Connection.

I tried m_Report.Database.AddOLEDBSource and
m_Report.Database.SetDataSource m_RS
but it's giving errors

Any ideas ?

Any help please ?

I pity you :( I have no idea what your talking about but I pity you

I realize this is not exactly what you were looking for,
but it is an alternative approach. The report is designed in
the Crystal Reports RDC and is created using a
Data Definition File (a tab-delimited text file which describes
the data and datatypes used in the report). It makes use of the
Crystal Data Object (CDO) which simulates an ADO recordset.
At runtime a virtual recordset (CDO) which matches the Data
Definition File is created and populated using an array, and then
applied to the report. It stores no data with the report.

This example creates a report comprised of only 1 record.
This could be looped to run through all desired records,
or the array could be two-dimensional allowing for multiple
records. This example assumes the report created in the RDC
is named 'crTest'

Declarations:

VB Code:

'declare report objects
    Public rptTest As New crTest
    
'declare virtual recordset object
    Public cdoTest As Object
 
'declare variables/arrays
    Public arrayRpt() as Variant

To create the report, call CreateReport

VB Code:

Public Sub CreateReport()
    'declare components
    Dim rptDB As CRAXDRT.Database
 
    'create the virtual recordset
    CreateReportSet
    PopulateReportSet
 
    'apply virtual recordset to report
    Set rptDB = rptTest.Database
    rptDB.SetDataSource cdoTest, 3, 1   '3 and 1 are the only values currently supported
End Sub
 
Private Sub CreateReportSet()
    'create virtual recordset
    Set cdoTest = CreateObject("CrystalDataObject.CrystalComObject")
    
    'add fields to virtual recordset
    With cdoTest
        .AddField "Field1", vbString
        .AddField "Field2", vbString
        .AddField "Field3", vbString
    End With
End Sub
 
Private Sub PopulateReportSet()
    'init
    ReDim arrayRpt(2) As Variant    'redim to handle all fields in the virtual recordset
    
    'connect to the data source and retrieve record, alternatively the report could be created
    'entirely or partially from user input with the input made part of the virtual recordset
 
    arrayRpt(0) = 'a value from the data source, or textbox, combobox, listbox, etc
    arrayRpt(1) = 'a value from the data source, or textbox, combobox, listbox, etc
    arrayRpt(2) = 'a value from the data source, or textbox, combobox, listbox, etc
 
    'add array to virtual recordset
    cdoTest.AddRows arrayRpt
End Sub
